Cholesterol Cholesterol gets a bad rap these days. Mention the word cholesterol, and it sparks fears of heart attack. But “elevated cholesterol levels” do not always mean heart disease, and lower cholesterol levels will not guarantee you against a heart attack.

Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance found among fats in your bloodstream but is essential to:

form cell membranes,

produce bile acids for digestion

make hormones

make Vitamin D.

Cholesterol and other acids cannot dissolve in blood and have to be transported by special carriers called lipoproteins. These include;

Coenzyme Q 10 (GAN1214). This antioxidant is essential for the production of energy in little cellular engines called mitochondria. Statins deplete the body's natural supply of this antioxidant. Take 100 to 200 mg daily.

Eat a diet rich in vegetables, lean fish, and chicken and low in red meat. Alternatively, supplement with a complete immune support formula. Perfect Pass Immune Support Powder (PSN4010), added to a smoothie or Immune Support Capsules (PSN4000) are good options. The formula is made up of an ideal ratio of nutrients.

You do not have to settle for prescription medications with life-long dependency and undesirable side effects. There are many preventative measures you can take and natural ways to lower cholesterol.

A healthy diet, good exercise plan and the proper nutrients can often do more to lower cholesterol than many drugs on the market. Even those with a family history will benefit from the natural approaches to lowering cholesterol.
